You probably haven't heard much about the white riot in Huntington Beach. That's because the story of white criminal culture is not a story the mainstream media will tell you. But once you scratch the surface, these stories are everywhere you look.
[Cord Jefferson]
So many white youths debase themselves the way that they are, and so I think sometimes people need to stick their necks out. I don't want to use the word ‘martyr,' but I guess I'm sort of a martyr on this front.
[Chris Hayes]
You know, there are people who are going to tell you that it's just a few bad apples, that if you look at the video, you can't say this whole group...this has nothing to do with white people, it's just a few bad apples. What do you say to that?
[Jefferson]
To that I say that if that's your actual belief, you have your head in the sand. I used to live in New York City and would occasionally go to Hoboken, New Jersey Saint Patrick's Day Parade, and there were so many young white men there vomiting in the streets, urinating in the streets, getting in fist fighting in the streets. It was a sight to be seen.
[Hayes]
I've seen it myself. There's college dorms you can go to, every other room there's a bong, there are people talking about how much they enjoy d**, a drug culture that people...and white elders don't say anything about it; they wink and they nod.
Do you have a personal problem with white people? Is this animus?"
[Jefferson]
No, I think any time that you tell the truth there's going to be those people who come out and think you're doing it for some insidious reason and say that you're a racist. I knew that some white people were going to call this playing the race card, but it isn't playing the race card. My best friend is white.
